James Dollahite Woodall

READ ON THE IMAGE 23 Aug 2026 (register K294). Ancestry collection 2272, record 22530618, image 40394_b061890-01689 (Gregg > 1922 > Apr-Jun, image 2 of 12). FIELD READINGS: 1 place of death - county Gregg, city Longview. 2 full name 'Jim Woodall'. 3 male. 4 white. 5 Widowed. 6 date of birth blank. 7 age 70. 9 birthplace 'Panola Co'. 10 NAME OF FATHER: 'unobtainable'. 11 birthplace of father: 'unobtainable'. 12 maiden name of mother: 'Mary Woodall'. 13 birthplace of mother: 'unobtainable'. 14 informant Mrs. [J?] D. Woodall of Longview, Texas. 16 date of death 22 Apr 1922. THE POINT OF THIS CITATION IS A NEGATIVE, AND IT MUST NOT BE MISREAD. Field 10 reads UNOBTAINABLE. This certificate CANNOT name his father and does not corroborate [5] Ryal Barber Woodall or any other candidate. Anyone skimming 'death certificate found' will assume the parentage link closed; IT DID NOT, and F2 stays 0/0. TRAP: the 'Mary Woodall' in field 12 is a MARRIED surname sitting in the maiden-name field. It does NOT corroborate 'Dollahite'. Do not cite it as if it did. NOT TRANSCRIBED: the cause-of-death lines were not confidently legible at the available render resolution and are not load-bearing - do not infer one from this text. The informant's given initial is likewise uncertain, recorded as [J?]. SUBSTANTIVE FINDING: the informant in 1922 could supply neither the father's name nor the mother's birthplace. The family's own memory of the previous generation was already gone by 1922 - which raises the value of 1860s county records and lowers the value of any later recollection.

DERIVATIVE - INFORMANT TESTIMONY OF 1950. READ THIS PARAGRAPH BEFORE THE LINEAGE BELOW. This is SAR supplemental application no. 71449, sworn by the applicant in 1950, and it is the SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE for rings 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this cone. EVERY DATE IN IT MATCHES THIS TREE EXACTLY, TO THE DAY. That is NOT corroboration - the most economical explanation is that this application, or a common ancestor-source behind it, IS WHERE THE TREE'S DATA CAME FROM. Attaching it converts an uncited assertion into a CITED DERIVATIVE ASSERTION: a real gain in bookkeeping and NO GAIN IN PROOF. NO ProofFather/ProofMother flag may be raised anywhere on the strength of this document. AND ITS OWN AUTHORITY HAS BEEN CHECKED AND FAILS. The application's authorities page cites ONE book (K304), and that book DOES NOT CONTAIN THE WOODALL OR MILES GENERATIONS AT ALL - verified in the launcher with 'Woodall' 0, 'Texana' 0, 'Polly Key' 0, 'Dollahite' 0, against controls returning 3158 and 250 (K307). Generations (2) and (3) below therefore rest on the 1950 applicant's UNSOURCED SAY-SO. Precedent for exactly this shape: K175, SAR application 74540 of 1952, whose cited authority proved to be a patriot-SERVICE list naming no wife, no dates and no children.

COLLINS, JR., descendant of ABRAHAM KUYKENDALL; applicant born 9 Feb 1918: (1) son of Carr P. Collins b. 5-12-1892 and wife Elza Ruth Woodall b. 1-24-1892, m. 11-21-1914 (2) grandson of James D.

SCOPE - WHAT IT DOES NOT TOUCH: the lineage reaches [3] James D. Woodall ONLY AS A HUSBAND. It says nothing whatever about [5] Ryal Barber Woodall and therefore does not bear on [3]'s own parentage. The document that looked like the Woodall answer is a Miles/Kuykendall answer. This same transcript is written on all six citations of this one document (C12, C15, C16, C20, C22, C23) - they are ONE application, not six sources.
